Summary

Anisakiasis of the colon is a rare entity as compared with gastric anisakiasis, and its diagnosis is very difficult. We present here two cases - a 42-year-old woman and a 30-year-old woman - of anisakiasis of the colon treated by colonoscopic removal of the worm without surgery. The importance of colonoscopy for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease is briefly discussed.

Key words:

Anisakiasis - Colon - Diagnosis - Therapy - Colonoscopy
